The best not only prevail when the wind is in their favor, they also know how to present their best version and what the survivors of the war have to face. 107th edition of the Giro d’Italia in the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia They are dantesque. It is known that, it has been seen that the weather conditions will be more than complicated to new Cima Coppi by Giogo di Santa Maria, at more than 2,500 meters of altitude, due to snow and in fact at the exit of Livigno It is snowing heavily.
It doesn’t look good and RCS, the organizing company, thought of three options depending on the situation. RCS tried to ‘force’ the cyclists to take risks but the peloton stood their ground and in the end logic prevailed. The stage is only 118.7 kilometers long, marked by cold and rain, with the first 88 completely flat and preserving the two final climbs: Passo Piensu and Arrow Mountain.
In one hell of a day, the platoon broke into a thousand pieces and Movistar team wants to control the pace of the peloton, while being at the front Ballerini, Piccolo, Maestri and Alaphilippe They sought glory. The most persistent, one more day, was Alaphilippe, who was crowned Pinei Pass (23.4 kilometers of climbing at 4.8%) with little difference to their pursuers.
‘loulou’ He was neutralized by his comrades in exhaustion 5.2 kilometers from the finish line, while the drums of war could be heard in the background. Movistar wants and can’t Nairo Quintana and Pelayo Sanchezbut they were brave even though the plan didn’t work out.
Pogacar, in short sleeves and without gloves, put the Pole to work Rafal Majka, a sign that he wants to win. And 1.3 kilometers from the finish line, Majka opened up and Pogacar did not force himself, with an easy, simple and insulting pedal stroke for his rivals, in a tough finale with a 16% ramp, passed one by one the escapees, which prove to be another day. that he has no rival in this Giro d’Italia.
He entered counting with his right hand the stages he had passed through it Italy is spinning, on his debut, and now has five. Pogacar’s hand already has a 7’18” margin over the Colombian Daniel Felipe Martínezwho once again wrested second place from the Welshman Geraint Thomas. More than seven minutes to go and there are still tough stages ahead, the first this Wednesday, to continue making history at the Giro d’Italia. Insatiable.
